• Former Democratic Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, running to regain his office, states that Pres. Biden is unpopular and a drag on his campaign.
• Former secretary of state and presidential candidate John Kerry states that Pres. Biden “literally had not been aware” of the cause of the problem in US-France relations.

McAuliffe admits his gubernatorial campaign is being hampered by Biden’s unpopularity. Kerry admits that Biden was unaware of why France would be angry when the US undercut their arms deal with Australia. In fact France was so angry that it took the unprecedented step of withdrawing it ambassador to the US. This used to be seen as a prelude to war, and now is seen as the loudest protest available.

Is this a sudden outbreak of honesty and frankness among Democrat politicians? That surely would be a welcome development. Or is it a belated recognition that Biden is not capable of leading the nation, and fellow Democrats do not intend to go down with the ship in 2022?
